Announced on Wednesday by the state ethics commission, a group led by Stacey Abrams, a Democratic Party activist and two-time election loser, received the largest campaign finance fine ever in Georgia.

The fine of $300,000 was imposed due to spending associated with Abrams’ unsuccessful gubernatorial campaign in 2018. The New Georgia Project and its related fund, New Georgia Project Action Fund, admitted to raising and using millions of dollars in support of Abrams during that campaign.

Under Peach State law, the group should have filed as an independent committee and report both its fundraising and spending.

Despite raising significant funds, the group failed to disclose contributions amounting to $4.216 million and expenditures totaling $3.2 million during the 2018 election cycle.
